THEATRICAL.-The Agnes Villa Combi-
nation gave our people quite treat at
BurwelI Hall on Tuesday night, in the
rendition Of Sarah Motion" The play
is quite. an emotional one, and in some
scenes requires heavy acting, which the
most severe critic must acknowledge as
we'll executed in the parts of Sarah Null
ton, Monster Belin and Mathilde de La
tour While the requirements Of the other
drdmdtis persO1s1e were not so great, they
were we'll sustained, and, taken all in all,
may safely be pronounced good.
Perhaps the most appreciated part of the
performance was the orchestra, presided
over chiefly, by our brother chip of the
Stete Chronicle, BENZ. Hardy. Esq, better
known as the "inimitable Ben" His per-
Torrance on the harp justly elected re-
peated encores, and when he came to his
grand act-whistling the mOcking bird
the audience was thrilled-entranced,a and
we could bat think it fortunate our plumed
songsters of the forest were wrapped in
sleep too far off to catch its melody;
Else the proud mocking bird would never
more
Carol his sweet song before our chamber
door,
Compared with Ben, the nightengale's
MARBLE is but poor,
And in las hearing, birds are now silent

Special Notice.

The Equitable Life Assurance Society
of the United States has, besides its main
Office in the Equitable Building, 12O
Broadway, New York, branch offices at
all important points throughout the
world. Those whose interest has been
awakened In Life Insurance, will do we'll
to send for books and pamphlets giving
"Tables OF Rates." showing the cost OF a
policy for any desired amount, and con-
tanning all necessary Information about
insurance.
The Equitable is the most popular

ance organization in existence. Every
policy becomes incontestable as soon as
it is three years old, and such policies
are paid more promptly than the poll
cies issued by any other company.
The Equitable is one Of tho strongest
financial institutions in the world, and
its Tontine policies show larger profits
than are returned by any other company

Proposed Monument to the Memory o.
Rev, Dr., Gloss.

The GOLD LEAF is glad to know move
memory of the late Rev. William Gloss,
D. d. OF the eminent services to the Meth
dist Episcopal church and to the cause of
Christ, of a man so we'll known throughout
North Carolina, we need not speak. That
it would be but fitting tribute to the
worth and character Of the dead thus t.
perpetuate his memory all will freely
admit. The following communication on
the subject written by Rev. J. d. Arnold
pastor of the 81. E. church in Henderson,
we take from a late issue Of the Methodist
AdcGnce.
| see in The AdU0cGte that Bro. Nelson
has requested parties who wish to contrib
ute to the Gloss Monument Fund to forward
their contributions to me at Henderson.
will very gladly receive them and &C
knowledge receipts through the AdC0cdt6
Or AdrGHce. He gave a long life of ear
nest labor to the church and it is now pro-
posed to erect a mOnumenC over his grave
by ten cent contributions. Let his friends
and he had a multitude-shOw how easily
this thing can be done in this way. 1t
seems to me a very beautiful idea o raise
this monument by dime contribut ons. 1t
is a much mere fitting tribute to the memo
Nv of a good man that many friends by
small contributions meet this expense, than
that one friend of large means should do
50. If ministers will call the attention of
their congregations to this matter, there
will be found many a man and woman who
will say | want dime in that monument.
Let some lady i'll each congregation take
the matter i'll hand at once and raise a dol
lar or two and send it on. DR.. Gloss is
buried at this place and [ SUPPOSE for this
reason Bro. Nelson named me to receive
the funds. Wilson was the first to con-
tribute, with one dollar and ten cents, then
Swan Quarter ten cents, then Wilson again
twenty-five cents. Every letter is preserv-
ed and the names recorded, and the
amounts deposited with Mr.. W. S. Parker,
his sOn-in-laW, merchant of this place.
Now let all the friends OF Dr.. Gloss re-
spond right promptly. l mentioned this
matter to Dr.. Wilson, our Presiding Elder,
a few days since, and it met his hearty APP
prevail, and he will contribute himself and
bring it before the people. hope other
Presiding Elders will send in centribu-
lions. J. d. ARNOLD.

THE BEATER BEATS.
Cooper's Warehouse Still in the Lead.

Last week We noted some big sales
of tobacco made at Cooper's ware
house. Since then he has beat his
own record and now makes the proud
boast that "Coopers's warehouse is the
world beaten on big averages, high
prices, heaviest receipts of farmers to-
bacco, and fair dealing" The fig
ures will show that he has made the
best sales and highest averages ever
made upon this or any other market,
for same grades of tobacco, the past
week. Thursday, 18th, Frank Worth

Why is the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society of the United
States, the Best Company
to Toin ?

l. Because it issues the best policy:
It's policies are simple and concise, and
become incontestable as soon as they are
three years cid.
2, Because it pays every incontestable
policy immediately upon the receipt of
'proofs 0! DEATH"
In paying promptly instead of delay
ing for several months, as is usual with
other companies, it does more to reliey g
distress and to protect estates, than
could be accomplished by paying double
the amount after long delay.
g. The Equitable is the best company,
because it has no contested claims on its
books
f. Because it does a larger annual bus
mess than any other company in the
world, thus proving its high reputation
and the confidence of the public In its
strength and superiority.
s. Because of its large surplus, furnish
ing absolute security and large divi-
dends of profits.
g. Because of many other considera-
tons to be found in the larger publica-
lions which may be obtained from Mr..
J. r. Young, the Sociey Us Agent at
Henderson, n. G. It will pay you TO
consult him on all kinds of insurance.

A STORY WITH A MORAL.

We remember having heard in our boy
hood how an ingeniuS country preacher
caught rogue. One of his poor members
whose only hog had been stolen the night
before, came to him in great distress for
advice. The member was told not to men,
ton the theft to anyone, and was promised
when the sermon was over, he should know
who had his hog Going behind the house
the minister put two large rocks in his
pocket, entered the church, assembled the
pulpit, produced his rocks, laid them in
front of him, and proceeded to preach
regular fire and birthstone sermon against
roGuery. At the conclusion of his sermon,
with stentorian voice, he announced that
Brother Browns hog had been stolen the
night before, that the rogue was in the con-
gregation. and that he would proceed
(bareing his arm and graSping the largest
rock) to bring the vengeance OF Heaven
upon the malefact0r by knocking him in
the head with that rock. He begged the
congregation not to be uneasy, as, directed
by divine providence, the rock would strike
no innocent person. Drawing back his
arm, as if for mighty throw, one of the
members in the centre of the church ducked
his head below the benches, and the rogue
was caught.
MoRAL.-While we have promised to
look after crooked things, we don't want
the whole congregation to look sour at US
We shall not strike the innocent, and they
need not be afraid.

that they were served at the Farmers Res

in which they were cooked.
a Northern gentleman stopping at the
Davis Hotel, Kittrell, bought a fine bird
dog from a MI Edwards one day last
week for which he paid $500. The dog
was fastened up in a kennel, and when the
owner went there to feed him few hours
aftcrward found him dead. There was a
small opening above the door which the
dog had gotten his head through and hung
himself.
All property owners in town ought to
set shade trees in front of their residences
and places of business, thus identifying
their property and adding comfort to pass
ers-by, screening them from the summers
schOrching sun. A proper move in this
direction would give the town quite
different appearance in few years besides
greatly emhauling the valure of the
property.
